Special Abilities

Agile (Ex) Vortex dragons have good maneuverability when flying regardless of their age or size.

Alien Presence (Su) A vortex dragon's alien presence bends space. A creature that fails its saving throw treats all other creatures as if they were under the effects of Blur (or Displacement If the target has 4 or fewer Hit Dice) for 5d6 rounds.

Collapsing Breath (Su) Instead of a cone of fire, an ancient or older vortex dragon can suck a single target into its maw. If the target fails its Reflex save (DC equal to breath weapon), it is swallowed whole and takes 6d6 points of bludgeoning damage per round. A creature can cut itself out by dealing 30 points of damage with a light or one-handed piercing or slashing weapon. A vortex dragon's interior has an AC of 26.

Fragmented Strike (Su) An adult or older vortex dragon can strike with its bite through a rift in space. This allows it to make its bite attack against a target anywhere within the radius of its alien presence as long as the dragon can see the creature. This doesn't apply to attacks of opportunity.

Galactic Emissary (Su) A young or older vortex dragon halves the time of any starflight journey. In addition, it's immune to any effect that bars extradimensional travel.
